For a prime $\ell$ and an abelian variety $A$ over a global field $K$, the $\ell$-parity conjecture predicts that, in accordance with the ideas of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, the $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$-corank of the $\ell^{\infty}$-Selmer group…

Assuming finiteness of the Tate--Shafarevich group, we prove that the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture correctly predicts the parity of the rank of semistable principally polarised abelian surfaces. If the surface in question is the…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we prove that the algebraic rank of $A$ is at most a suitably defined analytic rank. Moreover, we prove that equality, i.e., the BSD rank conjecture,…

Tate's theorem (Invent. Math. 1966)implies that the Tate conjecture holds for any abelian variety over a finite field whose Q_l-algebra of Tate classes is generated by those of degree 1. We construct families of abelian varieties over…

It follows from the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula that the rank of an abelian variety (with trivial trace) defined over the function field of a curve is bounded by a quantity which depends on the genus of the base curve and on bad…

This is an expository article, based on a lecture course given at CRM Barcelona in December 2009. The purpose of these notes is to prove, in a reasonably self-contained way, that finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group implies the parity…

We study the behavior under twisting of the Selmer rank parities of a self-dual prime-degree isogeny on a principally polarized abelian variety defined over a number field, subject to compatibility relations between the twists and the…

The parity conjecture has a long and distinguished history. It gives a way of predicting the existence of points of infinite order on elliptic curves without having to construct them, and is responsible for a wide range of unexplained…

Following D. Ramakrishnan, we explain how L. Lafforgue's modularity theorem and an analytic theorem of H. Jacquet and J. Shalika can be applied to prove the following result related to the Tate Conjecture: for a smooth, projective,…

The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture predicts that the parity of the algebraic rank of an abelian variety over a global field should be controlled by the expected sign of the functional equation of its $L$-function, known as the global…

We investigate Selmer groups of Jacobians of curves that admit an action of a non-trivial group of automorphisms, and give applications to the study of the parity of Selmer ranks. Under the Shafarevich--Tate conjecture, we give an…

For an abelian variety over a finite field, Clozel (1999) showed that l-homological equivalence coincides with numerical equivalence for infinitely many l, and the author (1999) gave a criterion for the Tate conjecture to follow from Tate's…

In this paper we will prove that Tate conjecture of abelian varieties over finite field is equivalent to the finiteness of isomorphism classes of abelian varieties with a fixed dimension. We give a different approach with Zarhin's result.

From the generalized Riemann hypothesis for motivic L-functions, we derive an effective version of the Sato-Tate conjecture for an abelian variety A defined over a number field k with connected Sato-Tate group. By effective we mean that we…

We prove for abelian varieties a global form of Denef and Loeser's motivic monodromy conjecture, in arbitrary characteristic. More precisely, we prove that for every tamely ramified abelian variety $A$ over a complete discretely valued…

In this note, we provide evidence for a certain twisted version of the parity conjecture for Jacobians, introduced in prior work of V. Dokchitser, Green, Konstantinou and the author. To do this, we use arithmetic duality theorems for…

In two earlier articles, we proved that, if the Hodge conjecture is true for ALL CM abelian varieties over the complex numbers, then both the Tate conjecture and the standard conjectures are true for abelian varieties over finite fields.…

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field K. An identity between the L-functions L(A/K_i,s) for extensions K_i of K induces a conjectural relation between the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer quotients. We prove these relations modulo finiteness…

We study the parity of 2-Selmer ranks in the family of quadratic twists of a fixed principally polarised abelian variety over a number field. Specifically, we determine the proportion of twists having odd (resp. even) 2-Selmer rank. This…

The Main Theorem for abelian fields (often called Main Conjecture despite proofs in most cases) has a long history which has found a solution by means of "elementary arithmetic", as detailed in Washington's book from Thaine's method having…
